    Notes: [Auszug] THE Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society, which was so closely associated with John Dalton during the whole of his life in Manchester, is commemorating his work on the occasion of the centenary of his death which falls this year. The first meeting of next session is to be devoted to a ...

    Notes: Summary Gynes in the claustrally-founding speciesCrematogaster opuntiae andCamponotus festinatus accumulate large amounts of protein and lipid between the time of eclosion and mating. During colony founding, protein is depleted from both the thorax and abdomen and lipid from the abdomen. The abdomen, and specifically its accumulated storage protein, provides an amino acid store equivalent to or larger than that of flight muscle. The importance of this second major protein reserve in the evolution of claustral colony founding should be considered.

    Notes: Summary To facilitate the study of mating biology in the desert leaf-cutter antAcromyrmex versicolor, methods were developed that allowed storage and easy quantification of sperm samples collected from both male and female reproductive tracts. Sperm samples stored frozen were sonicated, stained with a fluorescent DNA stain, and the fluorescence emitted by the stained sperm heads was measured. The intensity of fluorescence was shown to be a linear function of the number of sperm in the sample as determined by counting.

    Notes: Abstract Responses of pelagic larvae of two species of xanthid crabs to manipulations of hydrostatic pressure were examined and compared. One species, Rhithropanopeus harrisii (Gould), is a temperate estuarine species, while the other, Leptodius floridanus (Gibbes), inhabits shallow water and reefs in tropical and subtropical regions. All zoeal stages of R. harrisii detected pressure stimuli presented in increments as small as 0.025 atm. Both Stage I and II zoeae of L. floridanus responded to pressure stimuli presented in increments of 0.1 atm. Stage I responded when pressure was changed by the smallest increment tested, 0.025 atm, but Stage II did not. L. floridanus zoeal Stages III and IV, however, did not change vertical position relative to control larvae when subjected to pressure stimuli. The capacity of R. harrisii zoeae to respond to changes in hydrostatic pressure may be related to their retention in the estuarine environment. In L. floridanus, a non-estuarine species, the pressure response is important only in the first zoeal stage and may function promarily in dispersal.

    Notes: Abstract In eusocial insects, polyandrous mating has the potential to reduce genetic relatedness of individuals within a colony, which may have a profound effect on the stability and social structure of the colony. Here we present evidence that multiple mating is common in both males and females of the desert leaf-cutter ant Acromyrmex versicolor. Females seem to have complete control over the number of matings, and mate on average with three males, even though the sperm transferred in a single copulation is sufficient to fill the spermatheca. To determine whether there is a bias in the representation of sperm from different mates in the spermatheca, females were mated to three or four males in controlled mating experiments and were subsequently allowed to found colonies in the laboratory. Paternity analysis of the offspring by random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis showed that all males that have been mated to a female successfully contributed sperm to the production of her offspring. No significant asymmetry in sperm use was detected, suggesting complete sperm mixing. Different hypotheses to explain polyandrous mating are discussed, and it is argued that the best hypothesis to explain polyandrous mating and complete sperm mixing in A. versicolor is that utilizing genetically diverse sperm confers a selective advantage on females.
